Just trying to find out the actual front track width difference between a 73 and 74 1303 . Can't seem to find any solid info when i do a search.
Thanks John

Hi

I have the owners manuals for both 1302 & 1303s.

1302 is front end is the same as early 1303s, 1387 mm with drum brakes, 1391 mm with disc brakes
1303 is 1394 mm but it makes no mention of any difference between drum & disc brakes.

Both model cars use 4.5 wheels, I think that they use different ET wheels which would affect rack width.

Steve , thanks for the info. I think what i am after is probably the difference between the years at the spindle width ? Unless there is another accurate way to measure the track width without the rim offset variable.
Is there such a measurement ?
I am trying to figure out the difference between an early 1302 or 1303 and a late 1303 {74} as to how my 944 hubs will be effected as far as wheel clearance and offset goes.
Thanks John
